We do not deliver things to students, nor do we get them out of class to pick something up. There is a cart by the receptionist. You can leave it there and they can pick it up during passing period.

Tests, Exams & Finals – We do not interrupt rooms when students are testing. In the event of an emergency, the parents will need to speak with their student's Assistant Principal.
